are any of your friends audiophiles?
I have 2 audiophile/music loving friends. One lives about 4 blocks from me and the other moved about 60 miles south of me a year ago. When all of us lived closer we would get together about once a month rotating to listen and enjoy each others ver...

Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear
Are there any hi-fi stores amoung this list of Southern Cal. audio/video shops? Maybe all but 1 are (what you consider) mid-fi? In your initial post, you only mentioned McIntosh being carried by 2 (what you consider) mid-fi shops, but admit in you...

One's trash is someone else's treasure
I have never perceived paying a seller his full asking price as being unfair. I find giving someone a hard time over paying the sellers full asking price very weird. Is this another case of political correctness? Was the OP not meeting moral stand... 
What was your biggest vinyl surprise for $.99
My biggest surprise was a 7" 45rpm that I bought at the Salvation Army for 33 cents. I sold it on eBay for $2,850. Some of that Northern Soul stuff goes for silly money.
